Armentrout, Peter B. | Activation of methane by size-elected iron cluster cations, Fen+ (n=2-15): cluster-CHx (x=0-3) bond energies and reaction mechanisms | The kinetic energy dependences of the reactions of Fen + (n=2 - 15) with CD4 are studied in a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer over the energy range of 0-10 eV. All reactions exhibit thresholds and two main products, FenD+ and FenCD2+, are formed. | Metal clusters; Iron ions; Bond energies; Dehydrogenation; Endothermic reactions; Transition metal ions | 2001 |

Beckerle, Mary C. | Activation-dependent redistribution of the adhesion plaque protein, talin, in intact human platelets | Talin is a high molecular weight protein localized at adhesion plaques in fibroblasts. It binds vinculin and integrin and appears to participate in generating a transmembrane connection between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. | Talin | 1989 |

Sobh, Tarek M. | Active inspection and reverse engineering | We propose a new design for inspection and reverse engineering environments. In particular, we investigate the use of discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) to guide and control the active exploration and sensing of mechanical parts for industrial inspection and reverse engineering. We introduce dyn... | Discrete event dynamic systems; DEDS; Industrial inspection | 1993 |

Horch, Kenneth W.; Lawrence, Steve M.; Dhillon, Gurpreet S. | Acute peripheral nerve recording characteristics of polymer-based longitudinal intrafascicular electrodes | We examined the recording characteristics of two different types of polymer-based longitudinal intrafascicular electrodes (LIFEs) in peripheral nerve: single-stranded (s-polyLIFEs) and multistranded (m-polyLIFEs). Recordings were also made from Pt-Ir wire-based electrodes (PtIrLIFEs) as a control. T... | Sciatic Nerve; Intrafascicular Electrodes, Peripheral Nerve Recording | 2004 |

Organick, Elliott I. | ADA to silicon transformations: the outline of a method | This report explores the contention that a high-order language specification of a machine (such as an Ada program) can be methodically transformed into a hardware representation of that machine. One series of well-defined steps through which such transformations can take place is presented in this i... | ADA program; High-order language specification | 1982 |

Carter, Tony M. | Ada-to-silicon compiler study (Final Report 30 Jan 85 - 30 Jun 86) | The vision of a system design environment in which both hardware and software components could be designed, tested, and executed was proffered by the late Dr. Elliott Organick1 in 1981. He was impressed by the objectiveness of Ada and the availability of an architecture (the Intel 432) which was sp... | ADA language | 1986 |

Blumenthal, Donald K.; Underwood, Clayton J. | Adaptation of the protein kinase filter paper assay to a 96-well microtiter format. | The most widely used method for assaying protein kinase activities involves incorporation of radioactive phosphate into a protein or peptide substrate with subsequent binding or precipitaion of the radiolabeled substrate onto filter paper squares. We have adapted this assay for use with readily avai... | Protein Kinase Activities; Filter Papers; Radioactive Phosphate | 1999-02-01 |

Cohen, Elaine | Adaptive isocurves based rendering for freeform surfaces | Freeform surface rendering is traditionally performed by approximating the surface with polygons and then rendering the polygons. This approach is extremely common because of the complexity in accurately rendering the surfaces directly. Recently, several papers presented methods to render surfaces ... | Freeform surface rendering; Isocurves | 1992 |
